DEIJ committee brainstorming session

Dear colleagues, The end of the semester is a busy, and the news cycle is exhausting. However, we think it’s especially important now to create a time when we can come together to discuss how rapidly changing policies (both national and institutional) are affecting us and will affect us next year. Please join the Writing Program DEIJ committee and directors at a Zoom brainstorming session at 7pm on Wednesday, April 16. All members of the Writing Program community are very welcome (staff, GWFs, PTLs, FTLs…). While we don’t have many answers yet, we do have a community of creative scholars and teachers – we are hoping this meeting can be a space to share our collective wisdom and to brainstorm approaches to our classroom work next academic year. We will also clarify the academic freedom protections that are codified in our collective bargaining agreements (PTL, FTL). If you have questions, critical pedagogy expertise, new/adapted assignments you are willing to share, or if you just want to be in community with other WP folks, please join us. Have a restful weekend, Jessica K, Sarah MH, Carrie B, and Courtney PM
